石虎「字思維」概念提出後，與「造字思維」、「意象思維」、「詩思維」等概念經常交疊使用，本文先由「字思維」現有的議論中，釐清各語詞混用時不同的範疇及界定；再舉出現有的當代詩學論述，有關「字思維」的批評原則及實際評論。從程抱一、熊秉明、葉維廉、翁文嫻等先軀者的詩學研究中，將「字思維」已建立的理論提示，進行脈絡化的闡釋及概念重構。企圖使「字思維」的研究方法，成為當代詩學研究及當代詩創作得以不斷拓展的前衛動能。 Since Shihu's notion of word thinking, such related terms as character-formation thinking, pictographicalthinking, and poetic thinking have been used interchangeably. The present study first clarifies the scope and definition of these overlapping terms by a topical review of literature on word thinking. The study then alludes to exemplary discourses that relate to the critical principles and practical comments of word thinking. Basing on such predessosors as Chun Baoyi, Xuan Binming, Yeh Weilien and Yung Manhan, the study reinterprets and reconceptualizes their poetic study in the present context to add to thdiscussion of word thinking. In so doing, the study is directed towards inducing an avant-grade energy in the contemporary field of poetry study and writings.
